The volunteers have done a wonderful job decorating this old bridge over the Broad River into a garden of flowers and shrubs. The collection of plants is extensive and they are clearly marked with their name. The bridge is suitable for people of all ages and even those with mobility issues. You can walk it in a few minutes if time is limited.
5. Buffalo Creek Park Mountain Biking Trail
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 25 reviews
Reviewed By KayC1737 - Dunkirk, United States
We hiked the Buffalo Creek Park 3.5 mile loop. The trail is shared by bikers and hikers and is well marked so that hikers head in one direction and bikers in the opposite which varies on different days of the week. The hike was moderately strenuous. Trail consisted of dirt, rocks, and tree roots. Great hike which we loved.
